[Stoves] Radiation Analysis for Gasifier

[Alex English]

Marc,
Setting aside heat transfer to the pot, I was just wondering if the 
reported gas temperature differences, with and with out the screen, 
might represent a delta T across the screen  ( about 90C) and then we 
could look at the enthalpy change  in the gas as a ball park check on 
the radiant heat flux from the screen. Of course many assumptions must 
be made about mass flow until excess air numbers are available but those 
can be made reasonably to shed some light on the likely boundaries of 
real stove conditions.
